BN 253
Title:  BN 253
Description:  Idling at the BNSF Temple Yard, this former Burlington Northern SW1200 appears to be resting against the wheel stops. Delivered to Colorado & Southern as SW1200 153 in February 1959, this switcher kept this number until C&S was assimilated into Burlington Northern becoming BN 253 in 1982. In September 1999 this unit received a fresh coat of BNSF H1 paint and a new number becoming 3521 and kept this number until retirement. This switcher was sold to Koppel Steel and is now used as a plant switcher based in Koppel, PA as KPLX 35211 still wearing H1 paint.
